"Goo Gone" works good at removing adhesives!

Goo Gone won't damage your paint. You might try warming up the adhesive with a hair dryer, while you soak the underside with Goo Gone. Should come off fairly easy.

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you have on there. I thought the SCT came with a plastic emblem with a tape backing. If this is what you have, try the Goo Gone around the tape backing. If you have a regular decal, I've never tried to remove one, but I would still prolly try the Goo Gone before anything else. Maybe someone else has a better answer for you!

if its already peeling off, the best thing to do is use a hair dryer to soften up the glue and pull it off.

If the decal is plastic, it should come out in one shot. Warm soap and water should take care of the adheisve
